Aadhaar Declaration Form

An Aadhaar declaration form records an employee's informed consent for the company to collect and use Aadhaar details for a stated purpose, such as UAN linking, and limits collection to a masked copy wherever possible. It protects both the employee's privacy and the employer's compliance position.

Frequently asked questions

Can an employer ask for Aadhaar?+

Employers commonly request Aadhaar for processes such as UAN/EPF linking. Collect it only for a stated purpose, with consent, and prefer a masked copy where full details are not required.

What is a masked Aadhaar?+

It is an Aadhaar copy in which the first eight digits are hidden and only the last four are visible.

Can an employee refuse to give Aadhaar?+

Where Aadhaar is not legally required for a process, offer an alternative identity document. For processes that require it, explain why it is needed.
